Tenneco Inc., which formerly traded under the symbol TEN, was acquired and delisted in 2022, so it is no longer a public company. Its major historical products were:

• Powertrain Products: Designs and manufactures components for engine, hybrid, and electric powertrain systems.
• Clean Air Products: Produces emission control and exhaust systems for vehicles.
• Ride Performance Products: Develops and supplies shock absorbers, struts, and suspension systems.
• Braking Products: Manufactures and distributes braking system components for various vehicles.
• Aftermarket Parts: Provides a broad range of replacement automotive parts under numerous brands for the aftermarket.

I am unable to identify the major customers for the company you described for the following reasons:

• The stock symbol XHLD does not correspond to any currently publicly traded company on major exchanges.
• The company name TEN commonly referred to Tenneco Inc. However, Tenneco Inc. was acquired by Apollo Global Management in 2022 and is no longer a publicly traded company. Therefore, its current financial filings, including detailed customer information, are not publicly available as they would be for a public company.

Without a valid symbol for a public company, or access to current public filings for Tenneco Inc., it is not possible to identify its major customers or categorize its customer base as requested.

Threats identified for Xcel Brands, Inc. (XHLD):

• Accelerated Decline of Traditional TV Shopping Channels: Xcel Brands heavily relies on platforms like QVC and HSN for a significant portion of its brand visibility and sales. These traditional TV shopping channels are experiencing a consistent and ongoing decline in viewership and sales, particularly as consumer demographics shift towards digital-first shopping experiences. If this trend accelerates, it poses a direct and substantial threat to a core distribution and sales channel for Xcel Brands, similar to how streaming services eroded the subscriber base of traditional cable companies.
• Proliferation of Creator-Led and Direct-to-Consumer (D2C) Brands: The rapidly growing ability of social media influencers and individual creators to launch their own brands and sell directly to consumers via platforms like TikTok Shop, Instagram Shopping, and personalized e-commerce sites (e.g., Shopify) is a significant emerging threat. This model bypasses the traditional brand management, licensing, and wholesale distribution structures that companies like Xcel Brands operate within, creating a new, agile, and highly competitive landscape in fashion, jewelry, and home goods. This shift challenges the value proposition of established brand houses by offering consumers direct access to products from creators, akin to how Uber disrupted traditional taxi services.

Currently, specific addressable market sizes segmented precisely for "virtual, hybrid, and physical event planning, production, and broadcasting services" provided by a company like TEN Holdings, Inc. on a U.S. or global basis are not readily available in the provided search results. While there is information about the broader automotive aftermarket and powertrain markets, this is for a different company also sometimes referred to as "Tenneco" which is not XHLD. Therefore, it is not possible to size the markets for TEN Holdings, Inc.'s main products or services with the given information.

Here are 3-5 expected drivers of future revenue growth for TEN (symbol: XHLD) over the next 2-3 years:

1. Growth of the Ten Events Pro SaaS Platform: TEN Holdings is accelerating the development and launch of its Ten Events Pro Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) product, which provides professional-grade production quality for virtual and hybrid events. The company anticipates initial revenue contributions from this platform as early as Q3 2025, driven by a technical partnership with Webinar.net, which is expected to bring the product to market faster and generate accelerated annual recurring revenue (ARR).
2. Strategic Partnership with V-Cube Inc.: A key driver is the strategic partnership with V-Cube Inc. to deliver advanced enterprise communication technology to the North American market. TEN Holdings plans to leverage V-Cube's event technologies to enhance and diversify its revenue growth opportunities, which is also expected to contribute to accelerated ARR.
3. Expansion of Customer Base and Demand for Core Event Services: TEN Holdings has demonstrated strong customer traction, adding 12 new enterprise customers in 2025, quadrupling its customer acquisition rate from the previous year. This indicates growing demand for its core event planning, production, and broadcasting services, including its Xyvid Pro platform and high-quality live event streaming. The company has also seen a significant increase in physical events.
4. Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A): Management has indicated that it is actively pursuing merger and acquisition opportunities to enhance scalability. Potential transactions are anticipated by the end of the current year, which could provide additional avenues for revenue growth.
